The White House disclose new details on Trump’s MRI scan

Former President Donald Trump’s recent MRI has stirred speculation about his health, though the White House insists he is in excellent condition.

On October 10, Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, confirmed that the president underwent advanced imaging, lab tests, and routine preventive assessments. He reported that Trump’s metabolic, cardiac, and hematologic results were stable, and noted that the president’s “cardiac age” appeared significantly younger than his actual age.

Trump later told reporters that his MRI results were “perfect” and among the best doctors had seen for someone his age, stressing that he would not hide negative findings.

Despite this, questions have persisted about why the MRI was performed and what prompted the visit. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated this week that Trump remains in “exceptional physical health,” addressing concerns raised by recent photos showing ankle swelling and bruised hands.

Leavitt explained that the MRI was part of Trump’s routine physical at Walter Reed, and that multiple specialists reviewed the results and found no issues. MRIs are commonly used to examine the brain, spine, heart, and other internal structures for potential problems.

Not everyone is convinced. Former White House physician Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman argued that the timeline of Trump’s visit suggests more was done than disclosed, noting that tests of this kind could have been completed quickly at the White House itself.

Kuhlman believes the administration is withholding information, fueling public debate over whether Trump is truly in top health—or keeping something hidden.
